ComradeMolotov

Ipropose that we get the votes of the Politbureau
members to have a vote without delay on the following
proposal (about which I have already had a short preliminary
exchange with Stalin and Kamenev, and Zinoviev):

1)Putupon Comrade Rudzutak the duty to start
out immediately for a sanatorium and not to leave
it until the
congress,[1]strictly keeping to the
established regimen.

2)Putthe duty upon Dr. ... (what is the name of
the one who is working at the C.C.? And if lie is not
there, then upon Semashko) to arrange at once a
high-calory diet and treatment against TB for Rudzutak,
in one of the better sanatoriums, to give him a chance
to receive as much treatment as possible and rest,
before the Party Congress and the plenary  meeting
(24/III).[2]

Withcommunist greetings,Lenin
